Three U.S. Troops Killed in Iran-Backed Drone Attack in Jordan, 34 Injured
(CNN) Haley Britzky - Three U.S. Army soldiers were killed and at least 34 service members were injured in a drone attack Sunday in northeast Jordan near the border with Syria. U.S. officials said the drone was launched by Iran-backed militants in Syria. CENTCOM said "there are approximately 350 U.S. Army and Air Force personnel deployed to the base, conducting a number of key support functions." President Joe Biden said on Sunday, "We know it was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq....Have no doubt - we will hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner of our choosing."
